“I’m a PC” and I’m made on a Mac?
venturebeat.com — So last night upon watching Microsoft ’s new “I’m a PC” ads, I half-jokingly asked how long it would be until one of the celebrities in the clips was spotted using a Mac? As quite a few commenters noted, many of the celebs had been seen with Macs previously, but today brings something far more humorous. Apparently, the commercials themselves were ma

- jonlarge, on 09/19/2008, -0/+2Its not likely that the ads were made by Microsoft employees. They probably hired a marketing firm to design the ads and graphics and it isn't Microsoft's fault if that marketing firm happened to use Apple computers (as many design and media companies do).
- Jimbozu, on 09/19/2008, -1/+2I think this is a perfect example of how ridiculous the mac vs windows debate is. There are both excellent operating systems (well, xp is, maybe not vista), but they also both have their strong points and their weak point. Macs are flat out better at video and image processing, but then again, windows is better for gaming and programing tasks. As far as the common user is concerned they both work equally well, and I don't really see a reason why there should be this battle to decide which is "better."

- l800LEMMINGS, on 09/19/2008, -2/+2Microsoft is well known for being hypocrites although they often pay outside people to do audio and visual work. there is a system sound that was made by pirated software and opening the sound file with wordpad and scrolling to the bottom confirms this and shows the name of the ripper of the software and they haven't removed or replaced the file despite their view on piracy
- Me0wmix, on 09/19/2008, -5/+2Whats your point? Mac has a better video editor.
- digitalpencil, on 09/20/2008, -0/+1tbf, it does.. fcp's much better than premiere hence why adobe killed it on mac.
- thenativeraver, on 09/19/2008, -2/+3They hired a 3rd party to make the video.
/Marked as innaccurate - TheAmazingBob, on 09/20/2008, -0/+1Well, Microsoft can't make ads through spreadsheets.
- roebeet, on 09/20/2008, -0/+1It's an advertising company. Of course it was made on a Mac - this is not surprising. Should Microsoft require all their vendors to use Windows, to do business with them? That's just silly....
- godzilla8nj, on 09/20/2008, -0/+1Guess Microsoft's ad agency isn't a PC.
- wilwells, on 09/20/2008, -3/+1I'm a PC and I lack creative functionality.
